I'm curious what Fedora leaders think is the proper forum for __Fedora
users__ to register complaints against this policy. Voting seems to be the
most efficient, and least spam-y method of doing so, but I am open to
suggestions!

Voting doesn't mean much if there's no agreement to process the votes.

No, you misunderstand the purpose of Bugzilla voting.

But I think you've failed to state something important. I think what
you really want to know is how Fedora users can register complaints
meant to illicit an immediate response... faster than the turn around
one can obtain via a fesco meeting. You want a 911 number to call,
instead of a town meeting to speak at.

No, that's not it at all.

I meant precisely what I said, no more, no less: it makes ZERO sense to
squelch Fedora users' feedback. Fedora leaders are saying "no feedback
on fedora-devel" and "no feedback on the bugzilla", and now, no Bugzilla
voting.

Bugzilla voting was created precisely so that users could raise the
profile of a bug and register their voice, without adding actual noise
to the discussion. Similar to "like" links on Facebook.
